I really hope you're right about the 3000 since I cut my teeth on one more
years ago than I want to remember.  But your comment about the market and
the customers is soooo true.  At our MARUG meeting last week, I had quite
a surprise.  Traditionally the MPE people have out-numbered the UNIX
people almost 4 to 1.  Well, those numbers were completely reversed at
this last meeting!  Is that a sign of things to come?
